Season 3 Book 7



Narrator: Daddy pig is making vegetable soup
for lunch.
Peppa: Daddy, can I help?
Daddy: Thank you, Peppa. Can you clear
away all these vegetable peelings?
Peppa: Ok.

1

Mummy: Stop, Peppa. Vegetable peelings
don’t go in the normal bin.
They go in this brown bin.
Children: Ooh
George: Banana.
Mummy: That’s right, George. It’s a banana
skin.

2

Mummy: And there are onions and carrots
and all sorts of fruit and vegetable leftovers in
here.
Granny and grandpa will like these
Peppa: Do granny and grandpa pig eat potato
peelings?
Daddy: Hahaha. No, Peppa.

Mummy: They’re for grandpa’s garden.
They help his plants grow.
Children: Oh!
Mummy: We can take these round there after
lunch.
Peppa: Oh, goody.
Children: Hehehe…

Narrator: Mummy pig Peppa and George are
taking the vegetable peelings over to granny
and grandpa pig’s house.
Mummy: We are here.
Children: Hurray!
Peppa: Grandpa pig.
George: Grandpa pig.

5

Peppa: We’ve got a special present for you.
Grandpa: Ah. Vegetable peelings. Fantastic.
My garden will like these.
Peppa: Does your garden eat vegetables?
Grandpa: Hoho. No Peppa. These peelings are
for my compost heap.
Peppa: What’s that?
Grandpa: I’ll show you. Here it is.

6

Peppa: It’s a wooden box.
Grandpa: Yes, Peppa. But it’s a very clever
wooden box.
I put these peelings in the top and then out
of the bottom comes lovely rich earth
Called ‘compost’
Peppa: How does it do that? Is it a magic box?

7

Grandpa: Hoho. No, Peppa. I’ve got some
little friends that give it some help.
Peppa: Where?
Grandpa: In here. Look
Peppa: Ah. Wriggly worm.
George: Wiggle, wiggle.
Narrator: The worms turned all the fruit and
vegetables into compost.

8

Peppa: Grandpa, can we find some more
wriggly worms for your composting?
Grandpa: What a good idea!
Peppa: Come on, George. Let’s find some
more wriggly worms.
A wriggly worm.
George: Wiggle! Wiggle!

9

Peppa: You are a wiggly worm.
How do you do? I love you.
You are a wiggly worm.
Grandpa: Haha! Well done!
Peppa: Be a good wiggly worm.
And turn it all into compost.
Grandpa: Then, I can use the compost to…

10

Peppa: I know, I know. You put a seed in the
ground, cover it in compost
And then it grows into a tree.
Grandpa: Hoho. Yes, Peppa.
And talking of trees, we’d better go and help
granny pig.
She’s collecting fruit in the orchard.

11

Peppa: What’s the orchard?
Mummy: It’s where you find fruit trees.
We’ve had this orchard since I was a little
piggy.
Peppa: Hello, granny pig.
George: Granny pig.
Granny: Are you going to help me collect
some apples?

12

Peppa: Yes, granny. Oh, the apples are too
high up.
Mummy: Don’t worry, Peppa.
Granny and grandpa have a little trick to
collect the apples.
Grandpa: Everybody hold on to the tree
Granny: On the count of three, shake the tree
as much as you can.
All: One, two, three!

13

Peppa: It’s raining apples! Haha
Granny, can we have an apple please?
Granny: Of course, Peppa.
Peppa: Mm…delicious.

14

Grandpa: And can you guess what we do with
the apple cores?
George: Wiggle, wiggle!
Grandpa: That’s right.
Narrator: The apple cores go into the compost
for the worms.
Grandpa: Clever George.
Peppa: And clever wiggly worms, too.
